Product Summary


All original, very good condition with original grips. Manufactured 1964. 2” barrel, 38 special

A true classic of American concealed carry history, this 1964 Colt Detective Special is a fine example of Colt's craftsmanship during the golden age of revolvers. Chambered in .38 Special and featuring the iconic 2-inch barrel, this six-shot double-action revolver was a favorite among plainclothes law enforcement and private citizens alike.

Features & Specs:

  • Manufacturer: Colt’s Manufacturing Co.
  • Model: Detective Special (3rd Issue)
  • Year of Manufacture: 1964
  • Caliber: .38 Special
  • Capacity: 6 rounds
  • Barrel Length: 2 inches
  • Action: Double/Single Action
  • Finish: Factory blued
  • Grips: Original Colt checkered walnut grips with medallions
  • Condition: Very good – finish is strong with minor edge wear; mechanics are tight and smooth

The finish on this revolver is well-preserved, with only minor holster or handling wear consistent with light use. The bore is clean and bright, with sharp rifling and no signs of corrosion. Lock-up is solid, and timing is excellent—everything you’d expect from Colt’s renowned quality.

This model features the rounded butt frame and classic profile that made it a popular backup gun in its day. The 2" barrel makes it exceptionally handy, while the full six-round capacity offers a distinct advantage over many snub-nose revolvers.

A Collectible and Carry-Ready Revolver

Whether you're a Colt collector, a fan of vintage revolvers, or looking for a timeless personal defense handgun, this Detective Special offers both historical appeal and practical reliability.
